Joshua 8

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.	1 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Ιησουν, Μη φοβηθης μηδε δειλιασης? λαβε μετα σου παντας τους πολεμικους ανδρας, και σηκωθεις αναβα εις Γαι? ιδου, εγω παρεδωκα εις την χειρα σου; τον βασιλεα της Γαι και τον λαον αυτου και την πολιν αυτου και την γην αυτου?
2 And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.	2 και θελεις καμει εις την Γαι και εις τον βασιλεα αυτης, καθως εκαμες εις την Ιεριχω και εις τον βασιλεα αυτης? μονον τα λαφυρα αυτης και τα κτηνη αυτης θελετε λαφυραγωγησει εις εαυτους? στησον ενεδραν κατα της πολεως οπισθεν αυτης.
3 And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,	3 Και εσηκωθη ο Ιησους και πας ο λαος ο πολεμιστης, δια να αναβωσιν εις την Γαι? και εξελεξεν ο Ιησους τριακοντα χιλιαδας ανδρας δυνατους εν ισχυι και εξαπεστειλεν αυτους δια νυκτος,
4 And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.	4 και προσεταξεν εις αυτους λεγων, Ιδου, σεις θελετε ενεδρευει κατα της πολεως οπισθεν αυτης? μη απομακρυνθητε πολυ απο της πολεως, και να ησθε παντες ετοιμοι?
5 But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:	5 εγω δε και πας ο λαος ο μετ' εμου θελομεν πλησιασει εις την πολιν? και οταν εξελθωσιν εναντιον ημων, καθως προτερον, τοτε ημεις θελομεν φυγει απ' εμπροσθεν αυτων?
6 Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.	6 και θελουσιν εξελθει κατοπιν ημων, εωσου απομακρυνωμεν αυτους απο της πολεως, διοτι θελουσιν ειπει, Αυτοι φευγουσιν απ' εμπροσθεν ημων, καθως προτερον? και ημεις θελομεν φυγει απ' εμπροσθεν αυτων?
7 And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.	7 τοτε σεις σηκωθεντες εκ της ενεδρας, θελετε κυριευσει την πολιν? διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σας θελει παραδωσει αυτην εις την χειρα σας?
8 And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.	8 και αφου κυριευσητε την πολιν, θελετε καυσει την πολιν εν πυρι? κατα την προσταγην του Κυριου θελετε καμει? ιδου, προσεταξα εις εσας.
9 And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,	9 Ο Ιησους λοιπον εξαπεστειλεν αυτους, και υπηγον εις ενεδραν και εκαθισαν μεταξυ Βαιθηλ και Γαι, προς το δυτικον μερος της Γαι? ο δε Ιησους εμεινε την νυκτα εκεινην εν τω μεσω του λαου.
10 And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.	10 Και εξεγερθεις ο Ιησους το πρωι, επεσκεφθη τον λαον, και ανεβη αυτος και οι πρεσβυτεροι του Ισραηλ, εμπροσθεν του λαου προς Γαι.
11 And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.	11 Και πας ο λαος ο πολεμιστης, ο μετ' αυτου, ανεβη και επλησιασε και ηλθε κατεναντι της πολεως και εστρατοπεδευσε κατα το βορειον μερος της Γαι? ητο δε κοιλας μεταξυ αυτων και της Γαι.
12 And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:	12 Και λαβων εως πεντε χιλιαδας ανδρων, εκαθισεν αυτους εις ενεδραν μεταξυ Βαιθηλ και Γαι, προς το δυτικον μερος της πολεως.
13 But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.	13 Και αφου διεταξαν τον λαον, απαν το στρατευμα το προς βορραν της πολεως και την ενεδραν αυτου προς δυσμας της πολεως, υπηγεν ο Ιησους εκεινην την νυκτα εις το μεσον της κοιλαδος.
14 And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.	14 Και ως ειδεν ο βασιλευς της Γαι, αυτος και πας ο λαος αυτου, οι ανδρες της πολεως, εσπευσαν και εξηγερθησαν πρωι και εξηλθον εις συναντησιν του Ισραηλ προς μαχην, εις ωρισμενην ωραν, επι την πεδιαδα? πλην αυτος δεν ηξευρεν οτι ητο ενεδρα κατ' αυτου οπισθεν της πολεως.
15 But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.	15 Και ο Ιησους και πας ο Ισραηλ προσεποιηθησαν οτι κατετροπωθησαν εμπροσθεν αυτων, και εφευγον δια της οδου της ερημου.
16 But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,	16 Και συνεκαλεσθησαν πας ο λαος ο εν Γαι, δια να καταδιωξωσιν αυτους? και κατεδιωξαν τον Ιησουν και απεμακρυνθησαν απο της πολεως.
17 And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,	17 Και δεν απεμεινεν ανθρωπος εν Γαι και εν Βαιθηλ, οστις δεν εξηλθε κατοπιν του Ισραηλ? και αφηκαν ανοικτην την πολιν, και κατεδιωκον τον Ισραηλ.
18 The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.	18 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Ιησουν, Εκτεινον την λογχην, την εν τη χειρι σου, προς την Γαι? διοτι θελω παραδωσει αυτην εις την χειρα σου. Και εξετεινεν ο Ιησους την λογχην, την εν τη χειρι αυτου, προς την πολιν.
19 And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.	19 Και η ενεδρα εσηκωθη μετα σπουδης απο της θεσεως αυτης, και ωρμησαν ευθυς οτε εξετεινε την χειρα αυτου? και εισηλθον εις την πολιν και εκυριευσαν αυτην, και σπευσαντες εκαυσαν την πολιν εκ πυρι.
20 And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, end were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.	20 Και οτε περιεβλεψαν εις τα οπισω αυτων οι ανδρες της Γαι, ειδον, και ιδου, ανεβαινεν ο καπνος της πολεως προς τον ουρανον, και δεν ηδυναντο να φυγωσιν εδω και εκει? επειδη ο λαος ο φευγων προς την ερημον εστραφησαν οπισω εναντιον των καταδιωκοντων.
21 So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.	21 Ο δε Ιησους και πας ο Ισραηλ, ιδοντες οτι η ενεδρα ειχε κυριευσει την πολιν και οτι ανεβαινεν ο καπνος της πολεως, εστραφησαν οπισω και επαταξαν τους ανδρας της Γαι.
22 And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.	22 Και οι αλλοι εξηλθον εκ της πολεως εναντιον αυτων, ωστε ησαν εν τω μεσω του Ισραηλ εντευθεν και εκειθεν? και επαταξαν αυτους, ωστε δεν αφηκαν ουδενα εξ αυτων μειναντα η διαφυγοντα.
23 And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.	23 Τον δε βασιλεα της Γαι συνελαβον ζωντα και εφεραν αυτον προς τον Ιησουν.
24 So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.	24 Και αφου ο Ισραηλ ετελειωσε φονευων παντας τους κατοικους της Γαι εν τη πεδιαδι εκ τη ερημω, οπου κατεδιωκον αυτους, και επεσον παντες εν στοματι μαχαιρας, εωσου εξωλοθρευθησαν, επεστρεψε πας ο Ισραηλ εις την Γαι και επαταξαν αυτην εν στοματι μαχαιρας.
25 And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.	25 Και παντες οι πεσοντες εν τη ημερα εκεινη, ανδρες τε και γυναικες, ησαν δωδεκα χιλιαδες, παντες οι ανθρωποι της Γαι.
26 But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.	26 Και δεν εσυρεν ο Ιησους οπισω την χειρα αυτου, την οποιαν εξετεινε με την λογχην, εωσου εξωλοθρευσε παντας τους κατοικους της Γαι.
27 And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.	27 Μονον τα κτηνη και τα λαφυρα της πολεως εκεινης ελαφυραγωγησεν ο Ισραηλ εις εαυτον, κατα τον λογον του Κυριου, τον οποιον προσεταξεν εις τον Ιησουν.
28 And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:	28 Και κατεκαυσεν ο Ιησους την Γαι, και κατεστησεν αυτην σωρον παντοτεινον αοικητον εως της ημερας ταυτης.
29 And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.	29 Τον δε βασιλεα της Γαι εκρεμασεν επι ξυλου εως εσπερας? και ως εδυσεν ο ηλιος, προσεταξεν ο Ιησους και κατεβιβασαν το πτωμα αυτου απο του ξυλου, και ερριψαν αυτο εις την εισοδον της πυλης της πολεως, και υψωσαν επ' αυτου σωρον λιθων μεγαν, οστις μενει εως της σημερον.
30 Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,	30 Τοτε ωκοδομησεν ο Ιησους θυσιαστηριον εις Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ επι το ορος Εβαλ,
31 As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.	31 καθως ο Μωυσης ο δουλος του Κυριου προσεταξε τους υιους Ισραηλ, κατα το γεγραμμενον εν τω βιβλιω του νομου του Μωυσεως, θυσιαστηριον εκ λιθων ολοκληρων, επι των οποιων σιδηρος δεν επεβληθη? και προσεφεραν επ' αυτο ολοκαυτωματα προς τον Κυριον και εθυσιασαν ειρηνικας προσφορας.
32 And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.	32 Και εγραψεν εκει επι τους λιθους το αντιγραφον του νομου του Μωυσεως, τον οποιον ειχε γραψει ενωπιον των υιων Ισραηλ.
33 And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.	33 Και πας ο Ισραηλ και οι πρεσβυτεροι αυτων και οι αρχοντες και οι κριται αυτων εσταθησαν εντευθεν και εντευθεν της κιβωτου απεναντι των ιερεων των Λευιτων, των βασταζοντων την κιβωτον της διαθηκης του Κυριου, και ο ξενος και ο αυτοχθων? το ημισυ αυτων προς το ορος Γαριζιν και το ημισυ αυτων προς το ορος Εβαλ? καθως προτερον προσεταξεν ο Μωυσης ο δουλος του Κυριου, δια να ευλογησωσι τον λαον του Ισραηλ.
34 After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook of the law.	34 Και μετα ταυτα ανεγνωσε παντας τους λογους του νομου, τας ευλογιας και τας καταρας, κατα παντα τα γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω του νομου.
35 He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.	35 Δεν ητο λογος εκ παντων οσα προσεταξεν ο Μωυσης, τον οποιον ο Ιησους δεν ανεγνωσεν ενωπιον πασης της συναγωγης του Ισραηλ, μετα των γυναικων και των παιδιων και των ξενων των παρευρισκομενων μεταξυ αυτων.
